Rob, Erik and I were fortunate to be able to chat with David Nir, formerly of Daily Kos elections and now at an indispensable Substack, the Downballot. We discuss a wide range of issues about the non-presidential races in the 2024 elections. This was a terrific conversation and I learned a lot from it, as always.

Erik, Rob and I recently had our annual NFL preview podcast. Part one covers the AFC — has the window closed for the Bills? Can anyone beat the Chiefs? Can the Ravens finally turn a regular season powerhouse into postseason success? How will year 1 of the Harbaugh/Herbert marriage go? We discuss this and much more.

On Friday Scott and I had the opportunity to speak with long-term friend of the blog and contributor Dr. Chris Koski of Reed College about the current state of the election. We worked our way through how the race has changed since the Big Thing, the stark limitations of JD Vance, the ways in which Donald J. Trump has lost something off his fastball, and the implications of the Presidential race for downballot candidates. We finished up with discussion of expectations of the Democratic Convention, and made some very hesitant guesses about what the results might look like in November. Give it a listen!

In a Very Special Edition of the LGM podcast, Rob and I had a great conversation with the great critic and friend of the blog Glenn Kenny about his new wonderful new book The World Is Yours: The Story of Scarface. We talk about Brian De Palma’s legacy as a “great artist and serious man,” the film’s many memorable scenes and treasure trove of great character actors, working with Al Pacino, De Palma’s relationship with screenwriter Oliver Stone, film production being chased out of Miami, what the movie kept and changed from the Hawks/Hecht original, and many other subjects. One of the most enjoyable interviews we’ve ever done here and I hope you enjoy it to. Don’t get high on your own supply while listening.

Last week I had the extraordinary good fortune to speak with Reuben Keith Green, a retired US Navy officer and the author of Black Officer, White Navy, a new memoir available from the University Press of Kentucky. Reuben’s memoir covers his youth, his decision to join the Navy, his naval career (including a command stint in the Pegasus PHM squadron), and his reasons for eventually leaving the service. On the podcast we discuss all of these issues. Reuben continues to work extensively on racial issues in the US Navy, including the prospective renaming of the John C. Stennis.

I had the opportunity yesterday to speak with LGM Blogger Emeritus Dave Brockington about the upcoming British general election. Quick summary, things do not look great for the Tories, but Labour is inheriting a lot of intractable problems. We also talked a bit about the results of the European Parliament elections and the big, extremely dangerous bet that Macron made on dissolving the National Assembly.

On this august day of blogospheric history, Scott and I are proud to publish our interview with Duncan Black, better known in some circles as Atrios, the long-term proprietor of Eschaton. We talk through a LOT of the history of the blogosphere, but for my money the best part is when all three of us blank on the name of Lee Siegel, better known by his troll name Sprezzatura. It is truly fitting that largely the only reason anyone recalls the existence of Siegel is the Heel Turn that Captured the Attention of the Internet. Anyway, please give it a listen and drop a quarter into not only our jar, but also that of Atrios…

A couple of weeks ago Scott and I had the opportunity to speak with Jill Filipovic, late of Feministe and a wide variety of other publications. She currently writes at her own Substack, on her own twitter feed, and in a bunch of other venues that you shouldn’t have any trouble finding. We talked about the relationship between the feminist blogosphere and the political blogosphere writ large, about changes in cross-ideological engagement, about the rise of twitter, and finally about the difficulties of managing communities of commenters.

Who is as ready for the NFL Draft as we here at LGM? No one! Scott, Rob, and I sat down last night to hash through a bunch of the issues in the draft, including the state of the quarterbacks. We also more or less went through the first half of the first round, considered trade options, and I think made fun of the Broncos. At least I hope we did. Draft starts tonight, we will have a thread on it.
